POEM STARTER

Life Without You

Write a poem or short story about what life would be like without the person you care about the most.

life without senses

Life without you smells boring

It reeks of vanilla and empty words

Without your bittersweet looks or foul play

Or indescribable complexity that falls short of the bare minimum


Life without you tastes empty

Like your ways of showing me you love me

On the tops of my tongue it tastes exactly like what I imagine promises do


Life without you feels light

And sweet

And airy

You complete me you are apart of me and always will be

Why is it so difficult?

Like something that will lift weight off of my shoulders

But would weigh down my heart


Life without you sounds reasonable

None of my friends like you why should i?

I don’t even like you sometimes so I call you my greatest lie

Why?


Life without you seems unsatisfactory

Sweet

Refreshing

Morbid


Life without you is normal

I’ve been living without you for so long

Life without you is normal

So why does it always feel so wrong?


Feeling

Never knowing

Or tasting

Or smelling

Or touching

Or hearing

life without you is senseless.
